"I only get 5 to 15 a day and try to filter them with Eudora Lite. I've noticed more and more showing overseas addresses. I know people that get hundreds of spams a week. I'm wondering if the new Eudora 6 has more features for blocking spam..."

I really should be getting some kind of bonus from Mailwasher Pro for hyping them as much as I do, but their product really works.

Typically, porno vendors tend to use the same email domains (e.g., oversease domains). MWP allows you to blacklist, bounce, and autodelete spam not only by individual email address, but also by entire email domains. This is especially effective for overseas porno domains.

If more people started filtering their email (the trash never makes it to your hard drive), spam could be just a sidenote in a couple of years.
